Licensing questions - online flipbook generation
« on: March 17, 2010, 06:47:37 pm »
    Hi, we're interested in using Megazine3 as a viewer for online flipbooks, but we're quite confused regarding what licensing type we would require.

    I'll describe the scenarios in which we would be using Megazine, and would like to know which licensing type would be required, and cost examples.

    1) Online publication of flipbooks, created and hosted by us, on different client sites (e.g. http://www.client1.com/flipbook1, http://www.client1.com/flipbook2, http://www.client2.com/flipbook1)

    2) Online hosting and dynamic generation of flipbooks, hosted by us. We intend to launch a website in which anyone can register and buy credits for generating flipbooks. They upload a PDF which is then converted server-side to a Megazine3 flipbook, which can then be viewed on a specific, automatically generated URL (e.g. http://something.com/books/3491)

    3) A mix of both the above scenarios. Our customers would have a backoffice section on their website in which they can upload PDFs which are then converted to Megazine flipbooks for use on their website alone.

   I previously posted these questions via e-mail to mz3-info@vservu.com, but didn't get any reply and that was over a week ago... hope someone sees this here :)

Sorry you did not get a reply; but your email did not come through; I just realized it was among a couple of spam mails im my junk folder!

I am convinced we have the appropriate license types for your needs.
Case 1:) Dependent on your customer's needs one of the 3 standard licenses will be y good fit:
   MZ3-FIX, if it is a single title (50 Euro): unlimited Online and Offline pages, unlimited Life Span (one time cost, no maintenance, free updates/upgrades)
   MZ3-FLEX, if your customer has several smaller titles like catalogues (100 Euro), newspapers, brochures; maximum number of pages is 500 online and 50.000 offline.
       one time fee, free updates/upgrades, unlimited Life Span
   MZ3-TIME, best fit for Periodicals like newspapers, weekly magazines, ... (100 Euro for 12 months) Up to 5 different titles per license, unlimited number of issues/editions with

All those prices and conditions can be found in our pricelist at http://vservu.com/_literature_32490/MZ3_Standard_Price_List or as direct PDF dwownload here:

With the volume discount you can save 50% of the list price.


Case 2: this is a typical case for one of our "special licenses". The MZ3-HOST offers exactly that: a package of licenses for hosting purposes. I will send you the price list for that tomorrow. It is not available for public download yet, but with the opening of our shop, which is expected for April 1st, we'll make those licenses publicly available also.

Case 3: I think this is just a special use case, but either the standard licenses (if the needs for books are moderate), or one of our volume type licenses MZ3-HOST or MZ3-PUBL will fit their needs.

Hopefully this gives you (and everybody listening ;-) some first ideas. The complete price list will follow tomorrow
